MACDONALD ATTACKS OPPOSITION LEADERS.
CRISIS OVER COAL INDUSTRIES BILL.
(United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, January 4. Mr Ramsay MacDonald, the Prime Minister, writing to a Glasgow newspaper attacks Mr Lloyd George and Mr Winston Churchill, who, he says, have “seemingly decided at all costs to defeat the Government by their 1 dear coal cry.* They have proposed to doom the miners to long working hours, and to defeat the only chance of a lifetime to organise the deplorable trade conditions and give internal peace. The Liberals have been co-oper-ating with the Government, and to defeat the good relations already built up between them, the manoeuvre will be tried again and again. But whether it will succeed depends on the Liberals. Labour is undisturbed, and will pursue the even tenor of their way, trusting that the electors will give them a fair deal and a just judgment."
